Waitress sacked for shot over robbers
A local waitress who fired her gun at three fleeing robbers is now out of a job.

Heather “Shorty” Burkinshaw-Stanley learned Friday by phone that she was terminated from her job at Waffle House a day after the restaurant was robbed.

I think a greasy spoon cafe/gun range combo would be a good money maker.

There's a big gun shop/range in OKC that has a helluva restaurant inside too!

I can't think of many businesses that wouldn't fire an employee after firing a gun on their property.

"Proles" "a member of the working class; a worker"

Ya, screw them.

[tmckay2]

So maybe I'm in the minority but firing a gun at robbers that were leaving? Seems like putting people, including yourself, at risk unnecessarily. Unless bodily harm is immediately likely, why use a gun? Can't say I blame the employer here. Looks like irresponsible gun use and that's a black eye for any service business.

There is often a very thin line between hero and idiot, and it usually comes down to using the gun only when absolutely necessary.

It's a reference to 1984 (when Zundfolge uses it anyway), but the reference is correct.

No kidding? Dang, I should learn to read! Shooting someone when they're fleeing is okay?

After reading the linked article, I agree.

Medicap Pharmacy. Guy shot at robbers on two seperate occasions, still works there.

I think they're doing you a favor. I would stay out of The Awful House for numerous reasons.

[milwaukeeshaker]

Shooting at armed robbers is not okay with you????

I arrested almost every employee of the WH near County Line and Broadway over the course of a few years for one thing or another. Needless to say, I didn't eat there.

Are you trying to say that you've read the book and are familiar with the reference? If so, you probably could have just said that.
I've no comment on shooting fleeing robbers, as I don't have any info on the situation.

We need a Waffle House at exit 132 and I-25.

*whine* I want waffles...

In a sane world, more businesses would encourage CCW by employees.

[KevDen2005]

I always liked walking into the one at my last agency looking for a suspect and seeing everyone in there intoxicated....and oddly enough no one ever drove there from wherever they got drunk at.

Waffle House does a lot to support military and Boy Scouts. After reading the article, I can understand why they wouldn't want to expose themselves to lawsuits by having an employee who fired over the heads of people fleeing, robbers or not. It'd be a different matter if she had fired to protect herself during the robbery ...

Too lazy to read the article, my wife read up on it and gave me the 411. Apparently the WH worker fired warning shots? Or maybe she just sucks that at accuracy as bad as she does finding gainful employment?

Bad move on the part of the waitress.

Other than the bad food, this is the only reason I need to not go to Waffle House;

Waffle House is a gun-free zone at all 1,800 of its restaurants across the country. In response to criticism from gun-rights advocates, Warner said all viewpoints were considered when the policy was set and when it comes up for consideration. As a family-friendly restaurant, it strives for policies that make everyone feel welcome.

“We respect everyone’s opinion,” he said. “We just feel, for our company, this is the best policy to have in place, and this is a policy that a lot of companies have.”

With a policy like that, it's no wonder they're being targeted for robberies.

[buffalobo]

Shooting at armed robbers is not okay with you????

Seriously? With the little information given in this circumstance?

The linked article says they handed a note threatening violence if no compliance. No where in article did it state that they were actually armed.

How is it you know they were armed?

The waitress retrieved gun after they exited and fired over their heads as they fled.

Fleeing bad guys are not usually considered an immediate threat.

All of this you know and yet wonder why membership tends to respond to you as troll.

Gotta love gun free zones.

Weird. When did that start? When I lived in Castle Rock, we used to go into WH all the time while OC. Even asked CR PD their opinion on OC while OC and they said, "the more the merrier".

[tmckay2]

I think everyone agrees that if a perp pulled a gun and threatened people with it, lethal force is warranted, and frankly a gun should never be drawn unless lethal force is warranted, whether you use it or not. In a public place, firing rounds at perps that are leaving? Why? Why risk life and limb for a little bit of money that isn't even yours? Those bullets don't just disintegrate, they hit or land somewhere. You shouldn't put people at risk like that unless absolutely necessary.

[tmckay2]

While I agree, incidents like this don't exactly help the cause. As much as we all hate to admit it, not all gun owners are trained and rational like most of us. Sadly it only takes a few bad apples to make businesses unwilling to risk it. Think about it. A perp comes in and kills someone during a robbery, the company isn't usually held liable as it could happen anywhere. If an employee gets trigger happy and hits a bystander or even an unarmed perp, lawsuits galore. Would you want to take that risk as a corporation? I hire employees and I have maybe 1 I would feel comfortable carrying a gun and making wise decisions.

Waitress in this case= stupid frickkin goofball idiot.

I have to agree with you. I suppose there could be some sort of qualifying training besides just basic ccw. Kind of like what some schools districts are considering for teachers. Up to the private biz to decide.

It's just easier for businesses to listen to their attorneys. A "no guns" policy is easier to defend than a "guns allowed" policy when push comes to shove. It's all about exposure and liability. Big corporations are going to go with the lowest perceived risk.
